Definitions

  • the invention relates to a cartridge closure with a valve function, especially for plastic ink cartridges.
  • Modern printing units work with continuously controlled automatic ink supply in the ink fountain.
  • this plastic cartridges filled with the printing ink in pneumatic Squeezers used on the ink fountain of the printing unit are mounted and the printing ink is pneumatic in the required quantities in the color box to squeeze.
  • the cartridges have a cartridge closure with valve function.
  • the object of the invention is therefore a cartridge closure with valve function to meet these requirements in in an optimal way.
  • FIGS. 1 and 2 In the axial section according to FIGS. 1 and 2 is a section of the End wall 1 of the cartridge with the one-piece molded Mouthpiece neck 2 shown.
  • On the mouthpiece neck 2 is outside a multi-start screw thread 3 is formed.
  • the mouthpiece neck and central body has formed outlet opening of the cartridge mouthpiece thus the shape of an annular slot opening 6 between the mouthpiece neck 2 and the central body 5.
  • valve sleeve 7 On the mouthpiece neck 2 is the side view in FIG. 3 and valve sleeve 7 shown in cross section in FIG. 4 put on.
  • This valve sleeve 7 consists of an upper part 8, which, as FIGS. 1 and 2 show, the upper edge of the Mouthpiece neck 2 engages with a U-profile, the inner Thigh a slightly arched outward to the forms free end tapered elastic sealing lip 14, sealing against the inner wall of the mouthpiece neck 2 creates, and from a lower ring part 9, which behind a Number from above the threads 3 on the outside of the Mouthpiece neck 2 molded latches 10 snaps into place.
  • the Upper part 8 and the ring part 9 of the valve sleeve 7 are through Groups of S-shaped wall webs 11 connected to one another, which have the course shown in Fig. 3.
  • the cross section 4 shows that three groups of such material webs 11 distributed around the circumference of the valve sleeve 7 are.
  • valve sleeve 7 shows the shape of the material webs 11, as you can easily see, a certain axial elasticity of the Valve sleeve 7 in the sense that the upper part 8 and the ring part 9 can be pulled apart axially to a certain extent, the S-shaped curved wall webs 11 like leaf springs Act.
  • the upper part 8 of the valve sleeve 7 has a conical shape inwardly projecting lip 12 which, like FIGS. 1 and 2 show, as a sealing lip with the central body 5 of the cartridge mouthpiece cooperates.
  • a closure cap 13 can be screwed on, which is absolutely airtight when the cartridge is not in use Securing the end of the cartridge mouthpiece.
  • valve sleeve upper part 8 The axial movement of the valve sleeve upper part 8 during the opening process takes place in that the upper part 8 on the of Connection with the ribs 4 from the projecting part of the mouthpiece neck 2 is guided and slides, since this projecting mouthpiece neck end part from the U-profile of the valve sleeve upper part 8 is encompassed and in particular the inner Sealing lip 14 slides on the inner wall of the mouthpiece neck.
  • the closure cap 13 shown in Fig. 1, with a complementary multi-thread on the multi-thread External screw thread 3 of the mouthpiece neck 2 can be screwed on ensures the absolutely airtight seal of the cartridge during storage and transport until the cartridge is used as well as when storing a opened cartridge.
  • the Closure cover 13 presses the lip 12 of the valve sleeve 7 firmly against the central body 5 and also puts on the rest Mating surfaces of the valve sleeve upper part 8. As from Fig.
  • 5A and 5B show an advantageous further development in detail the arrangement of the mouthpiece neck 2 and the sealing lip 14 of the valve sleeve 7 in a greatly enlarged illustration.
  • 5A shows the position of the sealing lip 14 in the Closed position of the valve sleeve 7
  • Fig. 5B the position the sealing lip 14 in the open position of the valve sleeve 7.
  • the inner wall surface of the mouthpiece neck 2 a paragraph in the form of an inclined ramp 2A, with which the Inner diameter of the mouthpiece neck of a narrower diameter in the upper area to a slightly wider diameter expanded in the lower area.
  • Paragraph 2A is arranged so that in the closed position of the valve sleeve 7 the sealing lip 14 rests on the inner wall area with a larger diameter, that but during the opening movement of the valve sleeve 7 the sealing lip 14 over the paragraph 2A on the diameter smaller wall area of the mouthpiece neck 2 slides on.
